Shark Teeth?

[Hetland]

I'm guessing they're teeth, but I've not found an i.d. yet. Can someone confirm that these are teeth, and perhaps tell me the critter it comes from?

Thanks in advance.

They look like little parts found inside of a sand dollar. They are not shark teeth.

Please put a ruler into the frame and take another pic. no way to know what it is without scale.

The largest is 5/8 inch from point to point.

I have found more than my share of sharks teeth and I don't think what you have there are sharks teeth. Looks like part of a being from another planet. Just joking. Actually, my guess is that they are part of the spine of a sea creature.

Not my intention to hijack this thread, but is it possible to estimate the size of a shark by just looking at it's teeth? I have a Tigershark tooth, but have no clue on how BIG the fish was...

I found this info at the following website: teeth

A rough formula for calculating the size of a shark, using its teeth, is to measure the length of one side of the tooth in inches, then multiply by ten to calculate the total length of the shark in feet. This estimate only applies to large triangular-shaped teeth, but if you ever find one you will be able to imagine just how big the shark was that it came from.
